The list has been a little quiet lately. Thought I'd
give us a little diversion to stir things up again.
Scene: Eric Clapton is performing at the venue of your
choice, strictly for Slowhand Digest members only.
Eric is going to grant us each the opportunity to ask
one question of him, and to make one song request.
Task: Where would you want him to perform, what would
your question be, and what would your song request be?
My answer: I would like to hear Eric play at Mondavi
winery in California, or revive the old Poplar Creek
venue outside Chicago where he could play under the
stars. I would like to ask him which musician from
musical history would he most like to perform with (I
would guess he would answer Robert Johnson), and I
would request that he play Born in Time.
Enjoy! Can't wait to hear what you all would like to
ask him!!
Cathy

Greetings everyone!
Has anyone come across a recording of the 7/22/01 show at the Savvis
Center in St. Louis, MO? I would love to obtain this. If so, please
send me an email and hopefully we can work out a trade. Thanks!
Best regards,
Jeff

I'm convinced it's not Clapton, but Allman?
Am i right?
Thanks
Chris

Hopefully we'll see more camera shots of Eric playing.
Hopefully there's also less wonky camera zooms and psychedelic lights.
Hopefully we'll now be in a position to judge the concert from a musical
perspective.
Someone on the digest once said that they wrote to the directors for a
"clean" cut, but got no positive response.

Subject: Boston/Tokyo Boots?
I'm looking for a couple Clapton boots to trade with someone. I'll trade for
one of my boots or a blank and postage, standard stuff. I am looking for
these items:
* Disc 2 of the 10.13.95 show in Tokyo- somehow I have two copies of disc
one but no disc 2
* Anything from his first show in Boston on his 2001 tour. I forget the
exact date.
I have lots of good boots I can exchange- let me know if you are interested
Also, while I am writing, I just saw an Energy Star commercial whose music
was a female's cover of "Change the World". Sounded a bit like Stevie Nicks,
but I doubt it was her.
Regards,
Jesse

Nick,
Sorry to trouble you but I just sent a post to the SD and it was bounced
back again. This keeps happening and the error message claims that they are
being returned because my messages appear to have an attachment. They don't.
Can you send it in?
John

On the recently re-issued Rory Gallagher albums, "Irish Tour" and "Live in
Europe" there are two references to EC. The liner notes of the former say
"Rory was voted 'Top Musician Of The Year' in 1972 ahead of Eric Clapton."
The latter states that when Rory's band, Taste, made their one tour to the
US, "it was as support to Blind Faith." Does anyone know if EC ever jammed
with Rory and are there any recordings? Also, has EC ever even referred to
Rory in any interview? Never to have done so speaks volumes. For those who
don't know the exuberant and influential Irishman, Rory Gallagher, he was,
quite simply, a virtuoso string player. He played a wider range of styles
with greater experise than almost any of the greats. Probably only Johnny
Winter has demonstrated such versatility. On stage (and in the studio) Rory
played a Strat, both flatpicking and slide. He played brilliant acoustic
fingerpicking blues, dobro, mandolin and harmonica. He was a spectacular
blues and rock guitarist, a wonderful song writer, and the most high energy
stage presence. Tragically, he died in 1995 after complications following
liver transplant surgery. He was only 47. You can learn more about him at
the website maintained by his brother, Donal.
